Maybe Deep Blue Aviatrix has not been able to express what he/she really wants to say and i hope he/she means is that Indians do well in all fields all over the world and have risen to the upper ranks in different jobs all over. What's happening here in the indian aviation sector is that the locals are not being given an oppurtunity to get employed...gain experience and come up. The airlines have taken the easy way out to overcome their shortfall in captains by employing expats at higher salaries and better T&C's than that are offered to locals.
It is not the expats the locals are against but its a point we have been trying to convince the management that they need to employ locals and think long term.
At the same time expat arguments about how they are here to improve safety is bulls**t as indians before also have flown all over the world and there has been no change in safety standards other than the improvement that comes along with time and thats applicable to all people across the globe in all jobs.
About the condition of the roads and slums and a lot else in major cities too.....its a sad state of affairs thanks to the corrupt politicians who don't care and unfortunately not much can be done about that.
